    A controversial but inviting book on 50 great cartoons
  

*by G***B on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016*

This lovely book is a clear product of the animation renaissance, when a film like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', a series like 'Ren & Stimpy' and a television program like BBC's'Stay Tooned!' raised the interest in classic cartoons, their history and their makers. It's of course a matter of debate whether this book really features the 50 greatest cartoons (an appendix shows some other fine contenders that just didn't make it), but these are certainly 50 fine films.Unfortunately, the selection only includes cel animated films (and the pre-cel film 'Gertie the Dinosaur'), and thus does include 'The Man Who Planted Trees' (a film that is very far removed from the term 'cartoon'), but not the very cartoony Academy Award winner 'Creature Comforts', because that short is a stop motion film. Surprisingly, some more modern shorts have been able to make the list, like NFB's 'The Big Snit' and 'The Cat Came Back'. Another surprise is that four of the top five cartoons are by Chuck Jones.All shorts get a synopsis, a review and some background information. Moreover, the book is richly illustrated, and certainly inviting to watch the shorts themselves. The book's big error, however, is that the shorts are ranked 1 to 50, instead of vice versa. To me, a list like this should be a countdown, but it isn't. Anyway, that shouldn't hold any animated cartoon lover from buying this book.

    A delight!
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2021*

It was a real pleasure to read this. It was, of course, wonderful to revisit some of my old favorites like "One Froggy Evening" and "What's Opera, Doc?". But I had just as much fun reading about and discovering cartoons that were new to me, like "Gertie the Dinosaur". Great insightful commentary on all the cartoons reviewed, as well as on cartooning in general. Highly recommended.
